Description
TotalCtrl is an inventory management solution that streamlines inventory counts and cuts food waste.

The inventory allows the user to update, export and print their inventory lists for distribution to their teams, and orders and delivery controls are also made easier. The Impact Reporting tool enables hotels or restaurants to reduce food waste and significantly advance their environmental stewardship.
